This document quantifies the number of LMI households by utility zone in select states. We define LMI as the number of households earning up to 100% of AMI, as defined and provided by HUD’s PD&R Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy CHAS.
Utility coverage is provided by either the HIFLD national level electric retail service territories or, preferably, state sources that are more granular. Note HIFLD often provides overlapping areas (ex: a municipal boundary and an utility provider) that result in the number of households up to 100% AMI being counted multiple times.
We start with the following states: New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Illinois and New Mexico.
